The microstructure of the heat affected zone (HAZ) and base metal were characterized by optical microscope (OM), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM). The results show that there are obvious microstructural differences between the base metal and HAZ. For example, base material is transformed from lath martensite to austenite due to the heateffect of the welding process. On the other hand, the precipitate in the matrix (bar-like shape Cr7C3 phase with a width of about one hundred nanometres and a length of hundreds of nanometres) grows to a rectangular appearance with a width of about two hundred nanometres and a length of about one micron. Stacking fault could also be observed in the Cr7C3 after PTAW. The above means that welding can obviously improve the surface qualities.

2 Materials 2015, Introduction More and more attention is being paid to precipitation hardening of stainless steel, because of its properties, such as excellent corrosion resistance, high strength, high fatigue resistance and good weldability. 17-4PH is one of the most well-known precipitation hardened stainless steels, which is widely used in oil, gas and aerospace industries. However, its wide application is restricted by its poor tribological properties, which have necessitated the development of advanced surface engineering technologies to improve the surface qualities, such as surface hardness and wear resistance. Co-base alloys with good wear resistance and excellent corrosion resistance are regarded as candidate materials for surface hardening of 17-4PH stainless steel. The good qualities due to the Co-base alloy welding cannot be separated from the fine structure. A microstructureal gradient is observed including the fusion area (the planar region and the bulky dendrite in a direction perpendicular to the weld interface), the transition zone (the dendrite in a multi-direction way) and the fine grain zone near the surface in the coating [1 4]. A wide range of mechanical properties of 17-4PH stainless steel can be developed through heat treatment at a variety of temperatures because various types of microstructures can be obtained with different heat treatment processes. The martensite formed during cooling from solution treatment temperature as well as the precipitates formed during aging, contribute to the high strength of 17-4PH stainless steel. In the solution annealed condition, its yield strength is typically 880 MPa which increases up to 1200 MPa on aging at 480 C. However, aging above 480 C leads to decrease in strength and increase in toughness. The influence of different aging treatments on the mechanical properties is due to the transformation of the microstructure. A few studies have reported on the microstructure of 17-4PH after different heat treatments using TEM (Transmission electron microscope) observation. The corresponding microstructure is composed basically of lath martensite and with numerous precipitation particles dispersed in the martensite matrix. At the same time, it has been claimed that layers of retained austenite could exist along the boundaries of adjacent laths after aging at high temperature. So the heat input during the welding process can have a great effect on the base metal. Study on 17-4PH deposited with Co-based alloy has been reported, but research reports on the effect of the welding process on17-4ph base metal are rarely found. In this paper, the analysis and correlation of the influence of the welding process on the microstructure of 17-4PH is presented [5 8]. 2. Experimental Section In this study, shaft sleeves fabricated from 17-4PH were used as the base material for surface hardening. The chemical composition is shown in Table 1, which is in agreement with the American Society of Testing Materials A705 (grade 630) standard for precipitation hardening forged stainless steel. Table 1. The chemical composition of base metal (%). Element C Si Mn P S Ni Cr Cu Nb Content A surface welding procedure was performed to improve the surface qualities. The plasma-transferred arc welding operation (PTAW) using Co-base alloy stellite12 powder (with chemical composition shown
3 Materials 2015, in Table 2) was performed. The PTAW process was used for welding using a current of 160 A, an operating voltage of V, a powder feeding rate of 25 g/min, an arc oscillation width of 25 mm, a plasma gas flux rate of 2.5 L/min and a protective gas flux rate of 12 L/min. The shaft sleeve, which was deposited with Co-based alloy, was cut into 15 mm 15 mm 15 mm samples. The thickness of the welded surface coating is about 3.5 mm. Table 2. The chemical composition of coating (%). Element C Si Mn Cr W Fe Mo Ni Co Content The microhardness of the base metal and the heat affected zone (HAZ) was measured by a MVC-1000B (Jiming, Shanghai, China) hardness tester with a test load of 500 g and a rhombic indentor; with metallographically prepared samples. The process of specimen preparation for optical microscope and electron microscope is that the sample was polished with Waterproof abrasive paper including 400#, 800#, 1200#, 1500# and then polished using polishing paste, and finally etched. The process of specimen preparation for transmission electron microscopy was as follows: (a) The sample was polished with waterproof abrasive paper including 400#, 800#, 1200#, 1500#, 2000#; (b) The Ion thinning was carried out on the sample. The microstructures of base metal and HAZ were described by a Nikon-MA100 (Nikon, Tokyo, Japan) optical microscope, a ZEISS EVO 18 scanning electron microscope (SEM) (ZEISS, Jena, Germany) and a Philips Technai G2 transmission electron microscope (TEM) (Philips, Amsterdam, The Netherlands); the distribution of the main elements was analyzed by an electron probe microanalysis (EPMA-1600 electronic probe) (Shimadzu, Kyoto, Japan). 3. Results and Discussion 3.1. Microhardness, Element Diffusion and Microstructure Analysis Figure 1 presents the Vickers hardness profile of the cross section from the base metal to HAZ in which the interface between the weld region and the heat affected zone is set as zero. As can be seen, the hardness of the base metal, which was not affected by the welding heating cycle, was almost constant and the average value was HV. There was an obvious gradient of microhardness in the HAZ. The hardness of HAZ near the interface was at a minimum due to the coarse overheated structures. However, as the distance increased from the interface, solution strengthening (Nb and Cu serve for the solution strengthening) occurred with the formation of quenching martensite, so the hardness adjacent to the interface is at a maximum. However, as the distance increased further, the hardness decreased because of the lower effect of the solution strengthening associated with the reduced number of Cu and Nb precipitates.
4 Materials 2015, Figure 1. Variations of microhardness from base metal to heat affected zone (HAZ). (Hardness tester with a test load of 0.5 Kg). Figure 2 presents the microstructure of the base metal and HAZ observed by OM. The microstructures of 17-4PH from fusion line toward the base metal are shown in Figure 2a f. The microstructure of the area whose distance from the fusion line is about mm (Figure 2a) is basically composed of austenite. However, with the distance from the fusion line increasing (Figure 2b e), the basical microstructure changes gradually from austenite to martensite. Yet, in the base metal, the corresponding microstructure is basically composed of lath martensite (Figure 2f). Figure 2 shows obvious microstructural difference between base metal and HAZ. To demonstrate it further, scanning electron microscope micrographs with a higher magnification are shown in Figure 3. It is noticeable that the microstructure of HAZ (Figure 3a) and base metal (Figure 3b) show a great difference. Martensite lath is dissolved and the grain boundaries of prior austenite become obvious (Figure 3a), which correlates with Figure 2 [9,10]. The microstructure of 17-4PH after PTAW may be affected by two processes, namely, (1) element diffusion during welding and (2) welding heat input and welding cold cycle after PTAW. Figure 2. Optical microscope (OM) image of base metal and HAZ distance from fusion line (a) mm; (b) mm; (c) mm; (d) mm; (e) mm; (f) base metal.
5 Materials 2015, Figure 3. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) image of HAZ and base metal: (a) HAZ; (b) base metal. EPMA line scanning was carried out to investigate the effect of element diffusion during welding on the microstructure. Figure 4 shows that the content of the major element (Fe, Co, Ni and Cr) on both sides of the fusion line is very different, and the major element (Fe, Co, Ni and Cr) almost does not diffuse between coating and base metal during welding. So the microstructural gradient at HAZ is due to the welding heat input and the welding cold cycle after PTAW, rather than to the effect of element diffusion. This can be explained by the fact that 17-4PH is sensitive to heat treatment and can develop a wide range of properties through heat treatment at a variety of temperatures. Therefore, the heat input and cold cycle during the welding process can have a great effect on the base metal [11,12]. Figure 4. The observation of major element (Co, Fe, Cr, Ni) diffusion from coating to base metal by electron probe microanalysis (EPMA) Microstructure Analysis by TEM OM and SEM are not usually appropriate to reveal details of the microstructure of the martensite matrix. Therefore attention was focused on TEM, which is more effective in determining the microstructure of 17-4PH stainless steel TEM Observation of the Base Metal The TEM photographs of the base metal are shown in Figures 5 7.

7 Materials 2015, Figure 7. TEM and corresponding diffraction patterns of the austenite in the base metal. Figure 5 shows the lath martensite matrix, the precipitates dispersed in the martensite matrix and the corresponding diffraction patterns. As can be seen in Figure 5a, the corresponding microstructure is basically composed of lath martensite [13]. Lots of nanoscale precipitation particles are dispersed in the martensite matrix. According to the selected area diffraction pattern (SADP) shown in Figure 5b, the corresponding value of d is measured. The results from d1 to d10 are Å, Å, Å, Å, Å, Å, Å, Å, Å and Å. The measured value of d corresponds to PDF-d (Å) of Fe (bcc) (2.027, 1.433, 1.170, 1.013, 0.906, 0.827), Cr7C3 (2.048, 1.754, 1.440, 1.352, 1.210) and Cr23C6 (2.051, 1.492, 1.256, 1.230, 1.087, 0.931, 0.900, 0.842, 0.815). The matrix is martensite which is Fe (bcc) and the precipitates are identified as Cr7C3 and Cr23C6. A bigger precipitate is found in the martensite matrix in Figure 6. Figure 6a shows the bright field image and Figure 6b shows the corresponding diffraction patterns. The dark field images of the Cr7C3 and diffraction patterns of martensite are shown in Figure 6c,d respectively. The precipitate is of a bar-like shape, with a width of about one hundred nanometres and a length of hundreds of nanometres. According to the selected area diffraction pattern (Figure 6b), the precipitate is identified as Cr7C3. Based on the results presented above, it is believed that, Cr7C3 exists in two forms (the nanoscale precipitation particles dispersed in the martensite matrix and the bar-like shape precipitate). Austenite is also found in the specimen. As can be seen in Figure 7, there are lots of white blocks in the martensite matrix, with aside length of hundreds on the nanoscale. According to the SADP as shown in Figure 7, the white blocks are identified as austenite. The austenite is like a layer of film in the martensite matrix TEM Observation of the HAZ The TEM photographs of the HAZ are shown in Figures 8 and 9. Figure 8a shows the bright field image and Figure 8b shows the corresponding diffraction patterns. The dark field images of the diffraction patterns are shown in Figure 8c,d respectively. The corresponding microstructure is composed of austenite. The formation of austenite is a result of the welding heat input and welding cold cycle after PTAW. Evident from the analysis presented above, organization transformation from lath martensite to austenite is due to the heat effect during the
8 Materials 2015, welding process. Due to the base metal being adjacent to the fusion zone (HAZ) it is effectively annealed by the welding heating and cooling cycles, resulting in the presence of austenite. This is why preheating and post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) are not required to prevent cracking or to restore ductility. As seen in Figure 9, precipitates are found in the austenite. According to the selected area diffraction pattern (SADP) as shown in Figure 9, the precipitates are also identified as Cr7C3 (the same structure as the precipitates in the base metal). However, after this welding process, the Cr7C3 forms a rectangular appearance with a width of about two hundred on the nanoscale and a length of micron size (Figure 9), which is obviously larger than that corresponding to Cr7C3 in the base metal (Figure 6a). According to the above, the Cr7C3expands after welding due to the heat affect. In addition, a stacking fault could be observed in the Cr7C3. The TEM results correspond with the OM results and SEM results. (a) (b) (c) (d) Figure 8.

9 Materials 2015, Figure 9. TEM and corresponding diffraction patterns of the Cr7C3 in the HAZ TEM General Discussion From the above results it can be inferred that that microstructures between base metal and HAZ have obvious differences. First of all, after the welding process, the lath martensite is transformed to austenite because of the heat effect. In addition, the Cr7C3 phase changes from a bar-like shape to a rectangular appearance of a bigger size and with the appearance of a stacking fault. The larger size and the changing shape of the Cr7C3 in the HAZ, and the stacking observed in the Cr7C3 are due to the welding heat input and welding cold cycle after PTAW. 4. Conclusions The aim of this work was to study the influence of PTAW on 17-4PH base metal. The conclusions of the present study are as follows: 1. After PTAW, obvious microstructural difference between base metal and HAZ are observable by OM and SEM. Additionally the microstructure of 17-4PH after PTAW can be mainly affected in two ways: The first one is element diffusion during welding and the second one is welding heat input and welding cold cycle after PTAW. To investigate the effect of element diffusion on the microstructure, EPMA line scanning was carried out. The result shows that the major elements (Fe, Co, Ni and Cr) almost do not diffuse between coating and base metal, meaning there is almost no effect of element diffusion during welding. Above all, the conclusion can be drawn that the obvious microstructural difference between base metal and HAZ is due to welding heat input and welding cold cycle after PTAW. 2. In order to reveal details of the microstructure of the martensite matrix, attention was focused on TEM. The microstructure of base metal 17-4PH mainly contains martensite, and the existence of precipitates (Cr7C3 and Cr23C6) and austenite in martensite is also observed. After PTAW however, the microstructure of HAZ exhibits austenite phase organization transformation from lath martensite to austenite, which occurs because of the heat effect during welding. The existence of Cr7C3 is still observed after PTAW, but the Cr7C3 amount is obviously larger
10 Materials 2015, than that corresponding to Cr7C3 in the base metal and a stacking fault could be also observed in the Cr7C3.
